I am so, completely over hearing about parents who are up in arms about dressing their baby girls up in pink ruffles and frills. These are the same people who assert that gender “stereotyping” is out of control in the media and scream for gender “equality”. They think that our girls should wear clothing with…

Who Did You Think Your Kids Would Be?
I’m watching NCAA football today and looking at all of these athletic boys out on the fields, making or breaking plays. Their mamas are in the stands cheering them on and I wonder if they were raised to be these strong football players. Did their daddies take them outside and throw footballs to them from…
Sunday Confessional – I’m Ungrateful
Today is Father’s Day. I made a special brunch for my dad, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and some other family members. Kyle has to work today but thankfully he is closing so we got to spend the morning with him. He woke up early with me and helped me prepare the coffee for brunch, he cut…
My Fragile Psyche
So as uncomfortable as I am looking at myself in the mirror, I have never been happier or more comfortable with myself in my life. I don’t know if it is because I am getting older (30 in 2 months), or if it’s because my hunky husband somehow still wants to have everything to do…
My Mother’s Day Presents
Mother’s Day doesn’t look the same for all of us. As a Stay at Home Mom, I am with my kids all day, every day. My ideal Mother’s Day would be me, alone, sitting in a comfortable chair on a beach somewhere with a good book in my hand and a jug of water with…
My Letter to Mamom
I wrote this tonight for my grandmother’s memorial service which will take place on Tuesday while I am in the hospital. I intended to write tonight about why my husband and I made the VERY difficult decision to be induced tomorrow morning. A decision that we did not take lightly, as I am vastly opposed…
Christmas Tree Traditions
I absolutely LOVE Christmas. I love everything about it: the smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree, the scent of baking that lingers in my kitchen for over a month, the warmth of a fuzzy snowman-adorned blanket, the crisp air that stings your nose when you breathe in, the lights, the decor, AND the music….
Three-Cent Thursday: 2 (19) kids and counting…(?)
Please tell me you’ve heard of the Duggar family? I first heard about them when I accidentally ran across their TLC TV show “18 Kids and Counting”. They have since added another child to the mix making their show, “19 Kids and Counting”. And counting? Seriously? Their last child, Josie was born seriously premature and…
